Default Alignment in Charlotte, NC area

I am looking for a shop to do an alignment in the Charlotte, NC. area.
Want someone who will adjust camber to zero, having to put on new front tires also. Took it to a local shop, Clark Tire in Denver, NC who assured me that they had a corvette guy who did alignments and could adjust it to my spec, ( want a zero camber). Glad I questioned the manager when I got there, because his covette guy turned out to be an alignment guy who might have done a corvette before and would only align to spec.
Any input would be appreciated.

Check with Tire Kingdom. The one here in Ballantyne did my alignment and it seems to be pretty good. Honestly, I wouldn't go back there for them to do my tires, but the alignment seems solid.

They offer a few different pricing packages. I chose the $150 alignment that lets me get the car aligned as often as I want over the course of three years. Given the bad Charlotte roads and the C5's tendency to eat front tires, I thought it a good investment.

Call them and let them know what you want. They were willing to do a custom alignment for me, but I ended up just going with the standard. Let them know you're **** about the alignment but I'm pretty sure they can handle it.

Ask them to give you the print out of the alignment results. Kind of nice to have.
